Golf courses and places to stay – Cyprus

Regions

Pafos

Pafos is the centre of golf tourism in Cyprus: this catalogue lists 4 courses around Pafos, from the coast at Kouklia and Geroskipou to the hills at Tsada. From November to March daytime temperatures in Pafos are around 17–23 °C and nights around 8–13 °C; rainfall is 35–100 mm a month, and the Larnaca station records 5–8 rain days a month (climatestotravel.com). Finnair and Norwegian fly Helsinki–Larnaca seasonally and Jettime and Sunclass as seasonal charters (Larnaca airport route list); there is no direct flight from Helsinki to Pafos, so you connect or drive from Larnaca in about an hour and a half. Aphrodite Hills, Minthis, Secret Valley and Elea are villa estates whose apartments and villas the owners rent out privately.

Limassol–Larnaca

Between Limassol and Larnaca this catalogue lists 1 course: the family-run Vikla Golf & Country Club in the hills north-east of Limassol.

Finnair and Norwegian fly Helsinki–Larnaca seasonally and Jettime and Sunclass as seasonal charters (Larnaca airport route list); Vikla is about an hour's drive from Larnaca. The British base courses at Episkopi and Dhekelia are not listed, because their websites give no information on whether outside visitors may play.

Northern Cyprus

In the north of the island this catalogue lists 1 course: Korineum Golf & Beach Resort at Esentepe, east of Girne (Kyrenia). The area is not under the control of the Republic of Cyprus; Finnish travellers normally arrive at Larnaca or Pafos and cross the Green Line at its checkpoints, where a passport or photo ID card is enough for EU citizens. The Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs travel advice (um.fi) also covers the north: the embassy's ability to assist there is limited, and EU roaming and the European Health Insurance Card are not valid there. From November to March the Larnaca station records daytime temperatures of around 17–23 °C and nights of around 8–13 °C, with 5–8 rain days a month (climatestotravel.com).
